What are you going to write on your Father’s Day card this year? Are you stuck? Do you need ideas to help the kids write their cards?
 
It can be hard to write how much your dad/significant person in your life means in a card. Not everyone is a wordsmith and sometimes it’s hard to show your feelings and vulnerability on paper.
 
That’s why we’ve collated some of our favourite Father’s Day messages of all time, whether you want something heartfelt, funny, for your husband/partner or for the fatherly influence in your life.
